Soft pinkish-brown Rose Coco Bean Aubergine Stew with smoked paprika, ginger and garlic, with a touch of citrus lemon.

Tremble in anticipation and divulge in ecstasy. And, ingest.

This dish will obliterate your belief that vegan food can’t be made with simple ingredients.

Make this:

  • When you fancy a dish reminiscent but takes baked beans up a notch
  • When a hearty meal is much needed as the dark evenings draw in
  • When you’ve just had a run out in the blistering cold and a dish that’ll have you fixed up in no time tickles your fancy

Rose Coco Bean Aubergine Stew was inspired when I had been living in Lisbon. I had a budget of Euro 8, because I had expenses I needed to meet at that time. And, this was a cheap staple dish that kept me nourished.

Rose Coco beans are often referred to as crab eye beans, or borlotti beans. They are a staple to Indian cuisine.

Rose Coco Bean Aubergine Stew is vegan.

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
